The Man Behindthe Mic
Rabbi Shmuel Rabi was born and bred in Gateshead, England, where he learned in the yeshivah. He then spent time in Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood before settling in Toronto, where he joined Rav Shlomo Miller's kollel and later worked as a high school rebbi for more than a decade.
His deep mastery of the material — quoting sources ranging from Tosafos across masechtos to Rav Shmuel Salant's chiddushim — is what makes every Rischa D'oraisa session so rigorous. But it's his infectious energy, his classy British flair for drama, and his genuine love for every talmid that makes it unforgettable.
Rischa D'oraisa grew from a single class competition into a program running in schools across multiple cities — and Rabbi Rabi's calendar fills up fast. The best indication of its success? Schools invite him back. Many, more than once in a single year.
